study break

19 November 2011

I am hooked.In fact, I’m surprised I found time to break myself away and write this.  Let alone take time to take 20 pictures of these books (the other 16 weren’t that great). I started reading this series a few weeks ago at my mom’s suggestion.  She had read several Karen Kingsbury books prior to buying this set [...]

8 hours in the kitchen

16 November 2011

When I was in middle and high school, I ran cross country.  To say I liked running cross country would be a lie.  I would worry myself sick before every race. Would I be able to finish the race without walking?   Would I remember how to move my legs once the ref shot the [...]

No lifetime supply of almond butter. In fact, it was quite an ordinary day.  I think what made it GREAT, was my attitude.  I decided that I [...]

pumpkin cornbread and chili

3 November 2011

All I could think about yesterday was cornbread. A piece (or two) of warm, moist cornbread right from the oven. Still hot.  Comforting. Drizzled with honey. It didn’t matter that I don’t like cornbread.  That I find it dry and crumbly and lacking in flavor.  I wanted cornbread. So I found a recipe for pumpkin [...]

the story of lemon-blueberry scones

31 October 2011

Blueberry scones have a bit of a reputation in this house.Not any blueberry scone, though.  I’m talking about the kind you buy from the bakery section of the supermarket.  My little sister Kirsten absolutely loves the blueberry scones we buy from the store.  When she was still in high school, it was almost a guarantee [...]
